The house next to the Yurt site

This is where the yurt was standing, that you were born in,
and the picture of the dolphins jumping is here

Off to visit Zuva's birth place.

I took a trip on the water today, to Zuva's birth place.

She loves the cats

A good friend

So sorry for the long time between posts, and pics! Here's one from this morning to keep you going.

The Trio

Out walking at Oneroa beach, and a chance meeting with Tom, and this is what resulted....

We got kittens for Christmas.

Delight

If you click on the picture you will get a high res view and can enjoy Zuva's expression.

A water baby

I wish I could capture in a photo some of the delighted expressions and squeals that flow freely when we play together in the waves, but you'll just have to imagine them :)

The Tin Bath

Simple pleasures

At the Garden Safari

Zuva wowed people as we wandered around the gardens on a glorious sunny day.

Bright eyes

What does this face evolve to in 20 years time?

Beach?

She knows the word, and takes us there several times a day when the weather is as nice as it was today.

What can I do with these?

The table is a favourite place to explore.
There's always something interesting there.

Anyone for an exchange?

Zuva helping out on the market stall,
Our Waiheke Food Exchange,
where people share the excess from their gardens.

Robin and Zuva

How lovely to be able to walk to the beach, play for a while, then visit dear friends.

Look!

Behind you!

Books

She's fascinated by books

Ready to go

With Uncle Laurence' gift of a big blue sweater,
Zuva is ready for her trip to the deep South, with her sisters and cousins.

Little Drummer

Maybe it was the fact that she was in the belly while we were in Africa last year,
but she loves to dance and to play drums.
